Payment Methods
Ways to pay bursar bills.
Payment Options:
Lock Box:
Students, who are pre-registered, receive in the mail registration information, which contains an invoice. The student must return the bottom portion of the invoice with payment in the form of a check, money order, or credit card (Visa, Master Card, or Discover). The payment should be mailed to the College’s lockbox, owned by JPMorgan Chase, address: York College, GPO Box 29830, New York, NY 10087-9830.
All credit card payments must include the credit card number and the expiration date written in the boxes provided on the invoice. Student must pay the exact amount printed on the bill. Partial payments will not be accepted. Payment received after the due date will result in an automatic cancellation of registration.
AMS (Academic Management Services):
AMS offers a pre-payment plan that allows a student to spread his tuition payments over a five-month period (two months before the semester and three months after the semester begins). The AMS representatives are on campus prior to registration to assist students in enrolling into the pre-payment plan. Students can enroll into the AMS pre-payment plan by accessing their web site at http://www.tuitionpay.com/, calling 1-800-635-0120, or returning by mail a completed application before registration begins. To enroll in the tuition pre-payment plan there is a $30 non-refundable fee per semester.
E-SIMS:
To make tuition payment more convenient, credit card payments can be made online via e-SIMS. Log onto www.york.cuny.edu and click the e-SIMS logo. Enter the student information, then click “Pay/View Your Bill” and input your payment information. The credits cards that are accepted are Master Card, Visa, and Discover.
Drop Box:
For the convenience of students who are unable to transact payment during the regular business hours, payment can be deposited in the Bursar’s Drop Box located in the Public Safety Office. Please do not deposit cash in the drop box.
Hardship Deferment Policy and Procedures:
Students experiencing financial hardship may request to defer tuition for the current registration. Students are required to pay at least 50% of their outstanding balance, exclusion of financial aid, scholarships, or any type receivable applied against their bill. If a hardship deferment is granted, students must sign a hardship deferral Acknowledgement of Payment Deferral Form, which provides the condition of the deferment. All students who receive deferments will have until 30 days after the first day of classes to pay the first installment and 60 days to pay the remaining balance. If payment is made after the specified dates, the student is subject to a $15 late penalty fee for each delinquent payment and a Bursar Stop will be placed on his/her record. The Bursar Stop will remain until the student’s financial obligation is fully satisfied.
To
become eligible for a deferral, a student must:
- Be matriculated and registered for at least 6 credits;
- Have earned a minimum of 15 credits with a at least a 2.0 cumulative grade point average;
- Have paid all previous tuition and fee balances.
In Person:
Students who wish to make their registration payment in person may do so at the Bursar Office. The Bursar Office is located in the Academic Core Building in Room 1H01. All transactions and method of payments (cash, checks, money orders, credit cards, and third party vouchers) and are accepted. If you are using a credit card as a method of payment, the owner of the credit card must be present to sign.
